RE:Think the FED won't fold? Think again..The FED doesn't "fold". The FED calls the shots re. interest rates and makes its decisions. Sure, rates may eventually fall, but in the meantime, that old saying still applies: "Don't fight the FED". Those who were long on bonds since the beginning of 2023 have got whacked along with those who stayed invested in small cap companies with too much debt and not enough cash flow. If the FED wants to keep the Funds Rate at 5.25 - 5.50%, that's what's going to happen. There's a difference between what investors / institutions want the FED to do or spout what the FED should do, and what the FED actually does - that's why most smart people hang on Powell's every word during press conferences if interest rates are a concern for them because Powell has been saying since the start of 2023 that further interest rate hikes will likely be needed and presto, more hikes were indeed implemented. Nothing Zero Hedge (annoymous posters?) or any other pundit argues means a hill of beans if the FED thinks the opposite.
